Blood from Daming

Chapter 225
Then Xue Yun chased the Mongolian rebels into the border between Horqin and western Liaoning. According to the captured Tartar prisoners, Dai Shan, the Jian prisoner, lay bait in the corridor of western Liaoning, and Daishan set up an ambush at the Ling River and the Zhengzhou on Hongluo Mountain. The Blue Banner Abutai and Baduli’s units are also, and I estimate that Daishan will attack in the middle of western Liaoning, so at the junction of Horqin and western Liaoning, 5000 men and horses of Gulbush, the son of Jianlu, were annihilated. The next day is today. Hongluoshan, who came here as soon as he got something to do with Mr. Sun.

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong realized that Jianlu Dabeile Daishan was fishing, and he had entered the encirclement by mistake. If Xue Yun hadn't said this, Sun Chengzong still hasn't figured out how the Tartars ambushed him. Knowing Xue Yun The kindness of giving away the head, plus Sun Chengzong's embarrassment to take advantage of Xue Yun's rescue, he pondered for a while and came up with an idea.

Sun Chengzong: "General Xue, why don't you report the 5000 men and horses who defeated Gulbush in the battle of Hongluo Mountain, so that General Xue's money can be claimed by himself."

Xue Yun didn't pretend to be hypocritical and agreed. Originally, Sun Chengzong had 4000 heads sent by Xue Yun, and he could write an article on the imperial court. So he called Mao Yuanyi to discuss, and simply set the Tartars who had invaded Hongluo Mountain in Liaodong. With more than 4000 heads, with the [-] heads sent by Xue Yun and the heads cut off from the Hongluo Mountain battlefield, there will be at least [-] heads, so it is no problem to report a victory at Hongluo Mountain.

Seeing Mao Yuanyi and Xue Yun go to deliver the heads, Sun Chengzong is now in a much more cheerful mood. This Xue Yun is sensible, he has to go to the Ministry of War to ask for rewards because of his face. Generals like Xue Yun hold heads in their hands Most of them can only get a white note if they are sent to the capital, so this time I can help him get the silver, so it's not a loss for both sides.

It didn't take long for the heads of Xue Yun's Tartars to be handed over. These heads pickled with lime were quickly piled up next to Lord Sun Chengzong's horseshoe. The leader of Guan Mangguoer, the captive Li Yongfang, the rebel general of Lushun, is the icing on the cake.

Xue Yun will be a man so that the generals in Liaodong have a good impression of him. Under Man Gui's introduction, Xue Yun became familiar with Ma Shilong, Wang Shiqin, and You Shilu. Here, Master Sun Chengzong saw Li Yongfang for a long time and thought it was unreliable, so he asked Mao Yuanyi to find Li Yongfang. Someone from Yongfang came to confirm his identity, so that it would be bad if he was sent to Beijing to find out that there was an oolong in the future.

Man Gui, Ma Shilong, Wang Shiqin, and You Shilu were mostly Li Yongfang's colleagues in the past. Everyone came forward to identify Li Yongfang's identity. After Man Gui, Ma Shilong, Wang Shiqin, and You Shilu's comments, they were [-]% certain It was Lushun guerrilla Li Yongfang, the reason why everyone took a lot of time to confirm their identity, as long as it was Li Yongfang, Xue Yun's men had already made him look like a human being.

The Liaodong Ming army who were on the sidelines secretly marveled at Datong Xue Yun's cruelty and cruelty. Thousands of Tartars, Mongols, and Han troops did not leave a single prisoner, and only one valuable Li Yongfang was left behind by Xue Yun's men. It made life worse than death, making those officers and soldiers of the Ming army who were thinking of surrendering to Jianlu dripping in cold sweat. It would be better to die first if they became traitors and fell into the hands of this murderer. The most terrifying thing was that Xue Yun let go in public. In other words, the women in Li Yongfang's family have already rewarded one of his subordinates for their meritorious service. These women didn't see it, so Xue Yun dealt with them directly. The consequences of surrender.

Now the Hongluoshan battlefield has been cleaned up almost. Yuan Chonghuan, the deputy envoy of the Liaodong Right Political and Military Preparations, came late, followed by the guard He Kegang and others, who immediately hung a dozen heads of Tartars. All the generals of the Ming army seemed to be playing tricks. Looking at Yuan Chonghuan in the same way, a mere dozen or so heads would dare to swagger through the market, and now there are not hundreds of thousands of heads in a war, and they are too embarrassed to stand beside Master Jinglue.

Yuan Chonghuan himself also felt that the atmosphere was not right. Knowing that the rescue came late, Lord Sun Chengzong might be dissatisfied with him, so Yuan Chonghuan tidied up his mood, put his face in his bag, and bravely came to see Lord Sun Chengzong.

Lord Sun Chengzong is expressing his condolences to Zhao Liaojiao, the former deputy commander of the garrison general who came late. Zhao Liaojiao feels very wronged. The main reason for his late arrival is that no one reported him. Zhao Lvjiao is still wondering why he missed the report. I'm alone.

In fact, there was a misunderstanding here. The governor of Shanhaiguan, Yu Anxing, moved his horse before moving troops. Everyone in Shanhaiguan thought that Yu Anxing was looking for Zhao rate to teach. Unexpectedly, Yu Anxing, who was usually quiet, had Xue Polu as a foreshadowing. So Ma Shilong, Wang Shiqin, You Shilu and the other brigades passed by without asking any questions. If it wasn't for the scouting horses who came back to report that there was a change in the Ming army in Shanhaiguan, Zhao led the teaching and sent people around to inquire about it. Still in the dark.

In fact, Sun Chengzong's talk with Zhao Ratejiao was to deliberately snub Yuan Chonghuan, expressing his dissatisfaction with Yuan Chonghuan's late rescue in front of everyone. If there is a reason for Yuan Chonghuan's delay in sending troops this time, if Yuan Chonghuan was wronged and wronged, and if he was neither wronged nor wronged, Yuan Chonghuan knew the news that Master Jinglue was trapped last night, and he also knew that there were a large number of Jianren in Linghe and Xiaolinghe. Yuan Chonghuan naturally knew that the news that Sun Chengzong was besieged was true in all likelihood, but he guessed Sun Chengzong came here for the purpose of merging the former army. Naturally, he didn't want Sun Chengzong to come to Jinzhou. His subordinates reported that there was no change in the Jianlu in Linghe. Yuan Chonghuan knew that there were not many people besieging Sun Chengzong. As long as Sun Chengzong was willing to leave Jiancap It is impossible to keep him.

Yuan Chonghuan spent the night in a mood of worrying about gains and losses. At dawn, all the Jian captives who came down to report to Linghe, big and small, had all gone south. When Yuan Chonghuan was suspicious, a fast horse from Hongluo Mountain came to report, and a Ming army was besieged In Hongluo Mountain, Yuan Chonghuan knew that he had been dragging for a whole night, so he had to gather the troops from Jinzhou City and the nearby fortress to prepare for the expedition, but his subordinates came back to report that several guest troops in the pass had gone south.

With several guest troops in the pass opening the way ahead, Yuan Chonghuan, who had been afraid of an ambush by the Zhongjian captives, finally got the courage to leave Jinzhou City. Hanging vigorously behind several guest troops in the pass, they only waited for the first sign of trouble to immediately retreat to Jinzhou City.

In this way, Yuan Chonghuan's men and horses swayed slowly until the afternoon and had not arrived at Hongluo Mountain. At Shenshi, twenty or thirty Tartars escaped from the army. Yuan Chonghuan ordered the arrest of Tartars, which was an action of tens of thousands. , was still half run away by the Tartars, anyway, the Jinzhou Army still killed more than a dozen Tartars, but they also suffered a few casualties. It is a bit embarrassing to say that so many people beat [-] or [-] Tartars and still died or were injured.

Yuan Chonghuan learned from the living Tartar captives that the Zhenghong Banner, Xianghong Banner, and Zhenglan Banner led by Jianzhu Dabeile had already been defeated. It's a good opportunity, now there is no way to catch up, maybe there is something cheap to pick up, when the time comes to kill a hundred Tartars, at least thirty or fifty of his heads will be a great achievement.

However, Master Jinglue has been talking to Zhao Lijiao, so Yuan Chonghuan had to wait aside. Looking at the heads piled up around Master Jinglue and the generals in Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan felt particularly glaring. When will our Ming army kill Tartars like chopping melons? Cutting vegetables is so-so, this is too embarrassing, even if Yuan Chonghuan is thick-skinned and flushed, fortunately Yuan Chonghuan's skin is relatively dark and it is not easy to see the color.

Yuan Chonghuan finally caught the gap between Sun Chengzong's words and reported to Sun Chengzong that he was late in rescue and asked for punishment. Mr. Jinglue's special tent to narrate, which made the generals of the Liaodong faction jealous and envious.

Sun Chengzong and Xue Yun sat down as guests and hosts, and after the cronies and entourages offered tea and exited, Sun Chengzong, the Liaodong strategist, spoke: "Although the battle at Hongluo Mountain ended in failure, the danger is rare in my life. Fortunately, General Xue and The disciples of Xuemen will do their best to help, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Xue Yun had no choice but to cater to him and said: "A good man has his own appearance, but a man should not feed a tiger with his body at all. You must know that the body of a thousand gold can't sit down in the hall, it is precisely the plan that blossomed at the center of the adventure of Mr. Jinglue, which made it possible. The glorious victory at Hongluo Mountain, although the ancient famous general is not as good as your master."

After listening to Xue Yun's words, Sun Chengzong felt that it was a bit too much, and he was a little ashamed that his momentary anger turned out to be a clever plan in the eyes of others, but Sun Chengzong was very useful when he said it from Xue Yun, an anti-gold general.

Sun Chengzong: "General Xue defeated the Jianbu today with many casualties, but the Jianbu has a small number of soldiers and is tired. It will take about a few years to destroy the Jianbu with the general's new tactics."

Xue Yun was stunned for a while before he said: "My lord, this last general has not thought about it carefully. People often say that he is not in his position and does not seek his own affairs."

Sun Chengzong twitched his beard and was very satisfied after hearing Xue Yun's words. He sat there and pondered for a while and said: "Little brother, there are no outsiders here, so feel free to tell me. You and I just chat casually. It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong. .”

Xue Yun was taken up the cliff by Sun Chengzong. Xue Yun hesitated for a long time and said under Sun Chengzong's encouraging eyes: "Your Excellency may have overestimated the capabilities of the Firearms Battalion. Once the Firearms Battalion is breached, the consequences will be very serious. If we fight against the people of the Ming Dynasty, then its defeat is only a matter of time, if the Jianlu understood the key points and fought with powerful cavalry, then the power of the firearms battalion would be much smaller.”

Xue Yun raised his head and glanced at Lord Sun Chengzong, seeing where he was listening with his eyes squinted, he had to continue: "If the imperial court practiced with all its strength, it can be expected to defeat Jianlu in five years and wipe out the Tartars in ten years. There are winners and losers in the local resistance against Jianlu, and if there is any change in the court, it is beyond our military officials' ability to predict."

Sun Chengzong sat up and said: "This seat should personally ask for the holy memorial, and add a large number of firearms battalions. I hope General Xue can help me."

Xue Yun: "Eliminating the Tartars is Yun Ping's lifelong wish, I dare not obey."
